A Farewell to Servers: Pokémon Go to launch in Japan tomorrow
Advertisement
It’s been reported that Pokemon Go will finally arrive in Japan tomorrow, not only that but the first sponsored gym deal will also go live – with McDonalds.
Over 3000 outlets will be ‘transformed’ into Pokemon Gyms within the game. Tomorrow is the last day of school for Japanese students before their summer.
This report however does directly contracdict what Niantic have said in the past that the game would not launch in Japan until possibly August – however if you had a big marketing deal just around the corner you’d probably say anything to throw people off the scent.

being in Japan, the game is not released yet (I have the app but there are no pokemon around). perhaps they were going to make an announcement about the release date this week
actually the servers are live from today, my bad
